Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - It can amend a money bill.

The statement that is NOT correct about Rajya Sabha is that it can amend a money bill.

Rajya Sabha does not have the power to amend a money bill. Money bills can only be introduced and amended in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament). Rajya Sabha can only make recommendations on a money bill, and the Lok Sabha can choose to accept or reject these recommendations, but Rajya Sabha cannot amend the bill itself.
